“…Paraffin wax (SigmaAldrich, Poland), beeswax (Pharma Cosmetic, Poland) and wheat germ oil (AAK, Sweden) were chosen as common cosmetic emulsion ingredients. A modified acylglycerol emulsifier (mMAG) was used to stabilize the O/W systems, instead of popular ethoxylated O/W emulsifiers, as they elicit an allergic response, and therefore may be harmful to the skin [17]. Based on safety assessment analysis, all polyethylene glycol and derivatives used for cosmetics emulsion stabilization do not present a risk to human health, but are not allowed to be applied to damaged skin [18].…”
